In the example cited, the "whole POI" wasn't added as part of an advertising campaign, the property owner just added metadata: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2411243835/history . But more broadly, we value data for its correctness, not for its provenance (assuming licence-compatible). You are inventing a suspected rationale ("an advertising campaign") on the part of the contributor; judging them by your own standards which aren't the agreed/stated values of OSM anywhere I can see; and concluding that the data should be deleted. That's... a stretch? I mean, isn't it also possible that, now we've all made such an outstanding success of OSM and it's used in approximately eight gazillion mapping apps, Hilton Hotels think it would be useful if their customers could use their favourite mapping app to find a hotel they're staying in? Anyway, brb, got to delete https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/312915889 from the map. cheers Richard -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Tagging-f5258744.html _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
